While developing countries are faced with pressing socio-economic challenges, they are also increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of environmental degradation. Starting from this double challenge, current research has been focusing on the synergies between economic development and environmental protection. Within the field, the concept of environmental leapfrogging has emerged, referring to the p

The present study aims to explore the relationship between academic burnout, multidimensional perfectionism, and students’ perceived autonomy support from the teacher/instructor, while accounting for sleep. The final sample contained 147 university students with the mean age of 26 years. Three moderation regressions were carried out in the analysis. The results demonstrated that multidimensional p

This research examines a niche trying to enter a sector under construction, contributing to the growing literature about this emerging sector. This thesis deeply examines the green hydrogen niche, building an inn

De databashanterare som testas är MongoDB, MariaDB, Neo4j och PostgreSQL. För att åstadkomma en jämförelse utfördes en form av testning - en benchmark. BenchmarkeThis thesis has been conducted in order to compare how four different database management systems (DBMSs) perform in a limited number of areas, in order to draw conclusions about which one works best for storing discount data at IKEA. The DBMSs being evaluated are MongoDB, MariaDB, Neo4j and PostgreSQL. To enable a comparison, a form of testing was performed - a benchmark. The benchmarking consist

Contactless fluid surface velocity measurements with radar technology presents novel ways of determining fluid flow. The Acconeer A121 sensor is used, which is a pulsed coherent 60 GHz millimeter-wave radar, with high accuracy and low energy consumption. Fluid flow data is obtained from three different sites; in the Acconeer lab, a lab in the UK, and in three sewage pipes of VA SYD. Initially, dat

The political and socioeconomic consequences of US-led sanctions on Iran have been extensively researched. Despite Iran's importance in natural resources such as oil, research on the domestic economic consequences of sanctions, particularly on Iranian industries, is largely disregarded. When the domestic perspective of the sanctioned country is factored out, socially recurring effects like sel

Commercialization has been recognized as one of the most difficult phases of the innovation process. Failure rates are high, even for products with the potential to address real needs and deliver real customer value. This master's thesis explores commercialization in an even more challenging business context than the typical case. First, the innovating company is an early startup with limited

Mängden data som genereras av olika aktörer ökar ständig och det brukar sägas att många organisationer är rika på data men samtidigt informationsfattiga. Behovet av varierande analysverktyg för att skapa insikt och beslutsunderlag har aldrig varit större, men för varierande uppgifter och data passar olika metoder mer eller mindre bra. Uppsatsen undersöker, beskriver och förklarar ett perspektiv på

In 2002 the Budapest Open Access Initiative was born, and shortly thereafter in 2003 the Bethesda Statement and the Berlin Declaration followed suit. These three initiatives are frequently viewed as the ground staples of the Open Access movement, and promoted free access to academic journals for everyone with an internet connection. These three initiatives has been studied in this essay, as well a

I Sverige är grundvatten är en av de huvudsakliga källorna för dricksvatten. Grundvattenmagasin kommer att påverkas av klimatförändringar genom förändrad effektiv nederbörd och således grundvattenbildning. Dessa vattenresurser ska finnas kvar för framtida generationer och det är därför av vikt att studera dem samt öka förståelsen kring dem. Sveriges miljömål kring grundvatten nämner ett behov av aIn Sweden groundwater is one of the primary sources for drinking water. Groundwater reservoirs will be affected by climate changes with changes in effective precipitation, which means changes in groundwater recharge. It is therefore of value to study and examine these water resources, so that they remain just that for the generations to come. Sweden’s environmental goals regarding groundwater sugg

Mycket är känt gällande kopplingar mellan boendemiljöer och psykisk hälsa, men hur det ser ut i en svensk kontext är inte lika utforskat. Högskole- och universitetsstudenter har visat sig vara en sårbar grupp gällande psykisk hälsa, och COVID-19 pandemin har ytterligare belyst behovet av att utforska hur det relaterar till boendemiljöer då studenter spenderat mer tid än tidigare i sina hem. SåledeMuch is known regarding the connections between residential environments and mental health, but less so in a Swedish context. Students in higher education have been found to be a vulnerable group in terms of mental health problems, and the COVID-19 pandemic has further emphasised the need to explore how mental health relates to residential environments, as students have spent more time in their ho

In the early 21st century, deflationary trends applied pressure on margins in a range of different industries and subsequently cost reductions were required. Improving efficiency in the supply chain was identified as one of the key sources of potential cost savings. Subsequently, a trend towards slimmer supply chains with less stockkeeping emerged. However, due to the covid-19 pandemic supply chai

The aim of this study was to investigate how social workers reflect on municipal activation for clients who receive financial assistance, and the boundaries the social workers set in regard to the Swedish Public Employment Service. The aim is also to analyze which activation measures are used in the municipality, why they are used and how the social workers use their discretion in decision-making.

The aim of this study was to examine the significance of psychosocial work and perspective in addiction care within the Swedish healthcare system and what it is that enables or limits healthcare counselors’ psychosocial work in the medical context. The methodology is based on a qualitative approach using eight semi-structured interviews with healthcare counselors working with addiction care in the

Med bakgrund i den pågående Ukrainakonflikten har denna undersökning intresserat sig av synen på könsroller under ett externt hot. Frågeställningen formulerades till: Hur ser människors attityder mot försvarsrelaterade könsroller ut under ett externt hot? För att göra detta konstruerades en skala för att mäta attityder mot försvarsrelaterade könsroller (AKF). Vidare valdes ett antal prediktorvaria

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) are known as hydrocarbons emitted into the atmosphere from the biosphere. They have physiological and ecological functions such as communication within the plant and plant – plant, protection against environmental stress factors and defense against herbivores attack. Coniferous forests are known to produce larger quantities of BVOCs, especially terpenes,

Solving for a way to accurately predict the position of a user equipment is crucial in an array of applications within 5G new radio. One approach is to form unique identifiers, also known as fingerprints, and map them to positional data in an area. Previous research suggests that radio signal received strength is a promising indicator to use for the fingerprint, in order to achieve accurate indoor po
